Well, what happens right now is that any image with known centre  
coordinates and size is plotted, with the smallest ones plotted first.  
I guess I don't currently have a way to determine angular orientation  
and "flippedness" of user images. I think I need either to (a) figure  
out a method of doing this, or (b) disallow user images from being  
plotted.
